The Lost Nation of Luna Dam is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by King Timber II with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 16.502 billion Lunards are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Temperance. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Luna Damian economy, worth 999 trillion Moolas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,589 Moolas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany King Timber II to meetings with foreign heads of state, the new one Moola coin also makes a handy throwing-star, and the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luna Dam's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Augustin botism.

Luna Dam is ranked 129,962^nd in the world and 32^nd in Ridgefield for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 80.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
